The Hero: Not Alive
-
To exchange a value held in the long narrow always of a speck of
light,
For an infinity of its pointlessness that does not even
Go on forever, but simply
Ends now.
This odd gift that only justifies itself from one side,
From the logic of the light
And doomed forever
Always for the others,
Passing and crossing in the space of the end of you
Who forever now never began
And there never was light,
And there never were others,
And the place that was never a dream of itself
Crossing and passing forever
Through others
Lights only the inside of light.
